I don't eat McDonald's no longer.. along with anything else considered fast food. 309 days and counting since last fast food consumption.

Plus I don't watch much TV anyways so it doesn't affect me really.

Just don't ever eat at Hardee's.. I worked there in high school and what really scared me was the store I worked at was considered the cleanest Hardee's in the nation, but it really wasn't that clean, trust me, it wasn't.

I thought Hardee's went out of business. (I think Carls JR bought them out)

Yeah, that is true. So most I think are using their old buildings though. So don't eat at Carl Jr's then..

I can't be for sure anymore, they don't have them down here in Austin.

I don't care for commercials nobody should ... it's been a while since I was in a fastfood place and as for now I'll keep it that way ... there's nothing there I can't make at home for the same price with much higher quality

There is a Hardee's right down the street from me. It's been there at least 12+ years. I have no idea how they stay in business. Before that it was a Burger Chef

What offends me most about the new Macky Dee's advertising is that they fail to use a capital I in 'I'm lovin' it'. Since it is targetted at the younger audiences, they could at least have some respect for the language and use it properly instead of effectively encouraging poor grammar.

Just don't get me started!

The same can be said about most arbys in texas. I worked for one where the management was most likely spending their time sleeping in their cars, while employees, who are getting paid to do close to nothing, lived it up inside. Also, one more thing, if you don't keep a bun toaster toasting buttered buns all day clean everyday...consistently, in a few months it becomes hard to clean for the uninitiated, under paid...
